Kitchen Garden // We're on the lookout for a Kitchen Gardener to join the team behind one of Australia's most extraordinary food gardens.

Set at the foot of the Grampians (Gariwerd), our organically managed kitchen garden is the largest working restaurant kitchen garden in the country, supplying up to 80% of the produce served across Wickens and Parker Street Project.

This is hands-on, season-driven work. Sowing, harvesting and caring for the produce that shapes our menus each day, alongside a passionate garden team and award-winning chefs who are genuinely invested in what you grow.

Whether you're an experienced grower, a horticulturist or simply someone who loves working with the seasons and getting your hands dirty, we'd love to hear from you.
